Samantha Lai writes for Brookings: Former President Donald Trump’s recently filed lawsuits against Facebook, Twitter, and Google’s YouTube channel should come as no surprise. Following the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Trump was de-platformed from mainstream social media and has since struggled to use alternative online venues—for example, his own blog and video platform Rumble—to maintain his relevance. However, such attempts have been largely unsuccessful. The recent lawsuits act well as a means for recourse and fundraising tactics, with riled-up supporters directed to “fight back” through donating to the Save America PAC and the America First Policy Institute.
